UN discussing Syria as deaths and alleged mutilations continue

It's hard to imagine Russia or China allowing any sanctions or formal criticism but if this continues, it just may happen. Al Jazeera:

A European resolution demanding Syria end its violent crackdown against pro-democracy protesters could be put to a vote in the coming days at the United Nations despite the threat of a Russian veto, the British UN envoy said.

The UN Security Council debated a draft resolution on Wednesday condemning Syria's actions.

The draft was submitted by France and Britain during a council meeting at which the 15-nation body was briefed by a senior UN official on the unrest in Syria.

"We would like a vote as soon as possible, before the end of the week," Mark Lyall Grant, the British representative to the UN, said.
